Things That Irritate You in Life

[HungarianBison]

Things (and people) that are irritate me
When my bus is full
When my mother forget to close my room's door
Zoo-haters
Viktor Orbán and his supporters
Ferenc Gyurcsány and his pensioners
People that have at least 2 cars
Loss of biodiversity

When you stand on a gaboon viper

Hol’ up

People filling a kettle for a single cup of tea/coffee.
Electronic drum sounds, even though I recently bought a kit myself.
The weather turning crap in time for my holiday.

I just realized another annoying thing for me:

I find those changing electronic signs at SEA LIFE aquariums super annoying. It sucks if you see a cool fish, but you don't know what it is, so you have to wait for the sign to cycle back to it. And they don't even give you enough time to read it before it changes! Sometimes, the fish in its tank isn't even on the sign for some reason. So I'm just standing in front of the exhibit, blocking people's path like an idiot for 2 minutes, waiting for the sign to cycle to the fish that's not even on the sign in the first place. Wouldn't it be more convenient to guests and cheaper to just put in physical information signs?

They have those for Blacktip Reef at the National Aquarium, too. Blacktip Reef is a really cool exhibit that won exhibit of the year and has lots of cool fish species, but they have rotating screens, so it's hard to tell what the fish are, like you said.

Enrique Iglesias, I wish he would stand on a Gaboon viper (and be bitten).

This a problem with a lot of aquarium signage, and even some reptile houses have signage like this. For electronic aquarium signage, I personally like the interactive ones with a touchscreen where you can scroll through photos of all the species in a tank, but these seem to stop working all the time.

Why??

 

[Onychorhynchus coronatus]

Why??

His "music", his "persona" and the fact that our neighbour listens to his music on full blast all the time.

In sitcoms, whenever there is a pet bird or fish introduced for one episode, it will always end up being accidentally killed by one of the characters.

When people make problems for themselves and then complain about the problems.

Boaty McBoatface comments/jokes every time a zoo has a naming competition. Boaty McBoatface was four years ago. Let it die.

When the media name their article ‘Lucky Baby Anteater escapes birds, falls from tree and lands in hands of Australian Zoo’ when it is in fact an echidna. Don’t they know Anteaters aren’t found in Australia?

They are called spiny anteaters though by some. They do use echidna in the article, as well as puggle.

Thanks, I didn’t know that. Anyway, I got put off by the article, as I was so excited that there was a baby Anteater in Australia! It turned out it was just an Echidna.

"Just an echidna", I'd love to actually see an echidna!

Haha, but as an Australian, seeing Echidna’s in Zoos is pretty common. Everyone else on Zoochat really wants to see Australian wildlife, but I can stand in my backyard and literally have a chance of seeing a Kangaroo.

Out of curiosity, how common are they?

Really common in Victoria. I mean you have to go into the regional area (where I live), and you would be guaranteed to see a group of them at least once a week maybe. Wallabies are just as common as well.
